The Reverend Jesse Jackson, in comments inadvertently picked up by a live mic, made disparaging remarks about Barack Obama and has spent today doing the “profusely apologize” routine. Jackson’s comments were spurred by his perception that Obama is somewhat condescending in his remarks, and has not focused on issues of import to the black community. From MSNBC:
During a break from taping “Fox & Friends” on Sunday, a fellow guest asked Jackson about speeches on morality Obama has given at black churches. Jackson said at a news conference Wednesday that he responded that Obama’s speeches can come off as speaking down to black people and that there were other important issues to be addressed, such as unemployment, the mortgage crisis and the number of blacks in prison.
The Reverend Jackson took some of his heaviest incoming fire from his son, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
His divisive and demeaning comments about the presumptive Democratic nominee ā and I believe the next president of the United States ā contradict his inspiring and courageous career,” the younger Jackson said.
The younger Jackson serves as a national co-chair of the Obama campaign. Well, with all of the controversy surrounding these comments did Rev. Jackson actually do Senator Obama a favor here? With Obama tacking center this cannot help but re-inforce the mainstreaming of Barack Obama. What do you think? I see it as a blessing in disguise for Obama. Keep that cutting instrument in your pocket Reverend Jackson.
You Honor,
I see the Democratic Party, the rainbow party of inclusion is sick;
Black vs Women
Women hating black (the black steels the election from the deserving women).
Now we have black on black with one desiring to eviscerate the other as we heard and seen on TV.
What’s going on here?
This along with idiotic Republicans have created a governance poll rated a 9 percent
Obama, the magnificent, isn’t even president and we are at each other throats.
So, tell me, how’s Obma different than any other looser politician?
